a lot of 2019 W proofs are stained Stains may get worse with time, possibly becoming black or even terminal corrosion depending on the nature of the stain. |

I like it. Does anyone know how acetone works on proof coins? That stain looks like maybe a finger smudge? John1  |

came with the stain :(
... used a glove to take pictures. I noticed I had a very difficult time with lighting... I finally gave up and posted it and put it in a real holder.

Not sure how the TPGs handle a stained coin like this. Might be a details grade, but really don't know. If they straight grade it the stain would knock it down 1 or 2 points I would think. Not worth sending in.

Why doesn't the mint accept returns ?  |

^ They do if you send the whole set back. Unfortunately, you could end up with worse. I did send a proof set back once as the one of the Presidential dollars had a big brown stain on it. Cost me return shipping if I recall. |

The cents are considered a gift, no returns. If you send it back with the set, don't be surprised if they send you the same cent back, or none at all.

I've long thought it odd for mintmarks to have serifs when the coin's other text on that side is san serif.
